nice!

Oh yeah that's right ... Ed also said how they been lapping it up, enjoying the Gold Coast etc.

I think the band should move down under or at least buy holiday houses here.

Haha... I didn't hear everything Ed said. I heard Ed talk about Mike getting a new tattoo done that day. Did anyone see it? Can't wait to hear the boot.

I think the tatt announcement cam after the quote I posted above? I saw Mike hold it up- I think it was his right arm it appeared to be black and stylised, but can provide nfd.

It was my first PJ concert and despite the venue it was a great show. It took me a good day or two to be able to walk normally after jumping up and down for the whole set. I am getting to old for head banging too.

Stella

wondering why it always comes back to people jumping around and "participating". sometimes it's just too freaking hot to jump (sydney!!). I prefer not to jump around because i am a total clutz and would likely lose my footing and fall over = not so fun. doesn't mean you aren't into the show.
Brisbane was awesome as was sydney. (and I'm sure all the others were too).
Thanks to all the lovely people I met along the way. Miss everyone already.

Stella

Ooh poster lyssa above me, that wasn't aimed at you either sorry!! I'm glad you had a great time jumping around! after sitting in the sun all day, i just pretty much couldn't move with my 2nd degree burns haha.

E.K

Hi Miss Pants, Welcome back to the real world.

lyssa

No worries Stella. Hope your sun burn has gone.

Other than jumping to the music, I was also able to catch quick look at the band.

I hope the next time PJ come to Australia they play at smaller venues.

What a show!! Best yet! Loved Finn and EJ Harper and R7 were fantastic. PJ did an amazing show Ed is nearly back to full health but voice and energy is back to full form. Loved the BS songs with the greats and some of the rare-er songs but the hole band were loving it and feeding off the band.

Had a kid next to us o the barrier crowd were really good on Mike's side so he was safe just had a problem with non 10cers pushing to the front. the otherside got badly crushed Joni had to get security.

missed the after party sorry guys wifes back is killing her she told me to go by myself but I couldn't I will in chch

I called security over when a really drunk girl and her friend walked in front of me and the girl looked like she was about to vomit at my feet.

How gross. You wouldnt want to have your PJ experience ruined by the lack of class by a person doing that. I enjoy a drink or two, but the excitement of PJ stopped me from drinking at all. I was on enough of a high without drink or drugs to enhance my experience of PJ! In fact I never bothered drinking much the whole tour, now that I'm home I feel like indulging in a few, however. Bring on summer!!

I loved Brisbane thought it was great. Probably ranks third or 4th on my list.

Hung behind the sound desk with Pete and just danced around like maniacs....top fun.

Bris was probably the best organisation/access/lesser queues

My oldies just got home form a holiday as well. They has a lady pick them up from the airport, golf etc in a black van. They got chatting and it works out only a few days before she had been doing the same for a band. It came to light that it was PJ. They gave her and her son backstage tickets

Also the band was running terribly late from their Gold Coast abode so they got a police escort to the show

Thanks! I was wondering where the Brisbane reviews were.

Yeah another great looking set-list, and sounds like a grand show. So glad Ed wasn't taken to his sick-bed, I was fretting for you guys (forget about the band!)

Zenith, are you hovering around out there? Did you finally get to see In My Tree? and was it the slow version you requested? If not maybe you should request a refund.

Home straight now I guess - not sure there is much left for them to pull out of the hat this tour!

for a second i am - and yes i did!! twice!!! brissie & christchurch

Brisbane version i cried - i know, im an utter sook - but i was so excited, and had so many smiles around me, and they totally nailed it - fast ...... i was in heaven for about 5 minutes, and ill die a happy happy girl

Most excellent news! Somehow I didn't have you down for the Christchurch gig, was that a late addition?

Yes, it could be argued that seeing In my Tree live is likely to be the highpoint of anyone's life - it's probably all downhill from here I'm afraid! Fortunately I have yet to hear it, so my life is still worth living....

I think we're in the anticlimactic slump now, only Christmas and New Year to fend off the doldrums until the next round of PJ activity Was there any more news on the Backspacer outtakes being released? Maybe I should have a look, not sure I should be asking that here.

Congrats tho!

Where can I find out when I joined??

Not sure on my time, but it has been over 2 tours...not huge, but would be good to know...

sorry if this has already been answered. You can find out when you bought your membership by going into your buyer history in the merchandise section of the site.

If they do GA next time I might take a nikko and a cardboard box, that should guarantee me front row right?!!!!
